Business models continue to change to adapt to evolving needs and market landscapes.

More than profit and market dominance, the greatest business consideration today is how enterprises impact, not just their consumers, but also their employees, host communities, and the environment. With these in mind, social enterprises were established to provide products and services to a particular market while producing social change or sustainable development.

For our 29th anniversary, The Philippine STAR’s Features section brings you 29 of the most successful and well-renowned social enterprises transforming the country today. From rural to urban businesses, to local start-ups and global endeavors, we explore their one-of-a-kind business ideas, how they turn these ideas into tangible products, and understand why good business means doing good to people, communities and Mother Earth.
